Andy, I just tried to send you a private message but it says your storage quota is full... need to clear some space!

Wow, I just posted on this forum (Land Rover Timeline) about my dad telling the story of importing the first land rover into WA (possibly) and did a Google search and found this on the very same site! This is my dad (B.C. Whittle), and yes Peter Whittle (mentioned below) is a step-brother. The other kids are David, Eric, Rod and Penny (Rod and Eric still live in Margaret River). I would love to get a hold of the original (full resolution) photos, not sure where they could have come from?

That very man displaying those cars (B.C. Whittle - my Dad) gave me my first car which was a hand-me-down 1969 Rover 2000. That was in 1986, which he replaced with his last Rover, a 1986? Rover 3500 V8 in British Racing Green with Gold stripes, loved that car as a teenager, seemed very sporty. I always thought there was something wrong with it though as on the few occasions I was allowed to drive it I could not quite believe a V8 was so sluggish.
Update - We have located R860585, purchased it and brought it back to Perth.
It's in remarkably original condition and rust free.
It will be restored once there's room in the shed and funds in the bank.
Andy.
I would say defiantly a P3 has the wider body also on flip out vents inside of bonnet.
I love old original photo's of old Land Rovers.
I take it this is you then? Nice find.
